WTB 03.5 Mazdaspeed Protege

[whiteproto02]

I'm looking in for an 03.5 MSP in good condition and under 90,000 miles. Lower is better obviously. Body needs to be straight and interior clean. Little to no curb rash on the rims. I'm not too concerned about mods to the engine as long as it's reliable and I won't have to sink a bunch of money into it. I would like the car to look stock. Wing, lip, rims, hood, etc. If you have something for sale let me know. I am in Denver, Co, but I am willing to travel anywhere for a good deal. Thanks.

I found one that I am interested in. It has 53,000 miles on it and is only $5500. It has a salvage title though. It has a front mount intercooler, turbo timer, uni-chip, hard piping, cold air intake. He said that the hood is primer underneath and has a chip so it's not the original hood. I'm guessing it was in an accident where it rear ended someone. It also has some type of exhaust and it needs a new clutch which isn't that big of a deal, I can do that myself. I don't have pictures yet. He's going to send some. What do you guys think?

I'm also Very interested in HondaEat-R's MSP but I can't get a hold of him. I don't know if he's sold it already.

the only thing I would be worried about is front frame damage. If all the body panels look okay I would say grab it, even for a salvage $5.5K/53K/modded (as long as the engine healthy) is a steal.

I'm thinking the same. I'll talk to him some more and ask about frame damage. I could always get an aftermarket hood if the one that's on there is pitted up. He also said that there was an exhaust leak somewhere in the engine bay. I really need to see some pictures.

Would you mind inputting your location into the appropriate field in your profile?

Sorry about that. Should be fixed now.

$5,500 for that, are you joking ? You've seen the price on mine, correct ? I called you like 5 days ago and left a message, so if you're interested, feel free to get back to me.
